I Love Moxie Jingle Mingle at The Crown & Conspirator

After that frustrating and irksome enforced absence last year (the year that shall not be named) the ever-popular and ever-so-slightly infamous I Love Moxie jingle Mingle is BACK, baby! Oh, how we’ve missed you… Real life networking already made a welcome return, with fabulous turn-outs and wonderful host venues Gusto Cheadle Hulme and Inventery (the inventive drinkery) but this is the one we’d all been waiting for.

Last Wednesday, 1 December, our beautiful, big Bramhall pub-with-a-difference, the Crown & Conspirator, welcomed us into their seriously stylish (and toasty warm) hostelry, where – thanks to that roaring fire and enviable big Christmas tree – it’s REALLY beginning to look a LOT like Christmas. 

The Moxie Jingle Mingle offers a brilliant opportunity for many sole traders and freelancers to enjoy a Christmas work do (whilst also allowing for informal networking and connecting. Yep, even more informal than the usual Moxie Mingles). And so it came to pass. Gathered sociably in the traditional-pub space at the front of the Crown & Conspirator, we were able to eat, drink, and be merry while enjoying a good chat. Now, it’s no secret that the I Love team LOVE the Crown & Conspirator, but some of our newer guests, or those from a little further afield, were blown away by the amazing pub interior, especially the deceptively spacious outdoor-indoor back area. That, coupled with their impeccable service (not to mention a winning range of wine, beer, gin, delectable food and oodles of Christmas spirit) ensures that many are sure to be back. The fabulously magical Dave Deanie (AKA Magic by David) even treated us to some mind-bending tricks!

A relaxed meeting demands an early evening kick-off, so the 5-7 slot was ideal. Not SO early that a little tipple or two would be frowned-upon, but late enough that nobody need worry about returning to the office. A warm, friendly atmosphere full of chat and cheer and we networked and laughed in equal measure. As ever with the Jingle Mingle, the end time is no more than a guide time. Home time tends to be around the time our venue CALLS time. And with that, Christmas begins.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful new year. Keep an eye on our website and socials and join us next time at MyHQ in Cheadle Hulme on 20 January and then Clayton Hotel in February!
